- Well, because I travel with two pillows
and a blanket everywhere.
My kids, they all got one too.
So we all travel with our blankies.
[offscreen laughing]
What's up GQ, I'm Dustin Johnson.
And these are my essentials.
[mellow music]
My family would be my number one essential.
Paulina, Tatum and River,
they're just such a huge part of my life.
They're everything to me.
So that would be number one essential for me.
Essential item for just about everyone nowadays is,
is my phone, just to stay in touch with family
and friends and you know, with business
and everything that I do,
it's very important to have a phone.
Let's see my number one app lately,
probably Amazon.
An absolute essential item for me would be my golf clubs.
It's how I make my money.
It's how I live, how I support my family.
So it's something that's very important to me
and that I use pretty much daily.
Yeah, I mean, obviously golf is a huge part of my life
and definitely, definitely can't live without it.
They're all my go-to clubs, but I would say,
I'd say I got two.
That'd be, one would be the driver,
very important to my game and how I perform is,
is how I drive it.
But then probably more important than just the driver
would be the putter.
And this putter here, it's got quite a few wins.
Was in the bag at the Masters, the FedEx Cup,
it's been in the bag for,
I think I got 14 wins with it or something.
So with that putter, like that specific one.
[upbeat music]
You know always got to keep the beard looking good
and fresh, and I wear a hat a lot.
So, you know, make sure my sides are cleaned up,
just so you know, everything looks all right.
If I'm playing really good, which I have been lately a lot,
and that's why the beards getting kind of long
is like I won't shave it or I won't touch it
until I feel like I need a little bit of a change.
Another essential item for me would be my Hublot watch.
Just, you know, with everything that I do,
I've gotta be on time and you know,
I have a schedule most of the time.
So, and I do not like to be late.
I haven't always been into watches, especially yeah,
not until I was on tour and, you know had a watch deal
or actually could afford to buy a watch
that was worth wearing.
So I've just recently gotten into watches.
[jazzy music]
Another essential for me would be a pair of sunglasses.
These are Maui Jim glasses.
I need these when I'm on my boat and I'm out fishing.
It's probably one of my favorite things to do
other than golf.
It's, you know, something that I do as much as I can
when I am not playing golf, is how I relax or, you know
it's what I do for fun.
And that goes along with, you know,
whether I'm out fishing, deep sea fishing,
or I [indistinct] I go spear fishing.
So I free dive and I like to spearfish,
that's my absolute ultimate activity that I like to do.
Hog fish, groupers, any kind of snapper,
mutton snapper, we'll shoot lobsters,
but any fish I can eat that's what we're going to shoot.
I wear 'em all day, every day.
Gym, wear 'em to the golf course,
a lot of times I even play golf in them.
Walking, running, working out,
whatever I'm doing throughout the day
I'll always have on a pair of Adidas running shoes
and yeah, it's very, very important to me
and what I'm doing.
I've got a fairly extensive sneaker collection.
Don't know how many pairs I have, I haven't counted
but probably a couple hundred, at least.
And half of them are still in the box, new.
My next essential item would be this Body Armor.
I go with the Body Armor Light just to stay hydrated,
and you know, with training, with golf, being outside,
sweating all the time, it's very important to stay hydrated.
And this is a product that I have daily and I really like.
A very important essential for me is breakfast,
most important meal of the day.
Especially with golf sometimes
where we're teeing off very early,
I'll have seven o'clock tee time.
The roughest time ever I hadn't eaten breakfast
would have been about a month ago at the Masters
on Sunday morning.
Obviously I was nervous, but I don't know,
for some reason I just couldn't eat.
And it was the first time that's ever happened to me.
But I think I took like two bites of my omelet
and that was it.
This is another very important essential to me.
It's a Trackman, it tracks your golf shots.
And for me, it's just, it's how I dial in
all my golf clubs and you know, if I'm testing new equipment
or just on a daily basis, when I'm using my equipment
just how I stay dialed in myself.
It's very important to me that I know
exactly how far the ball is going.
And it's really important when I'm testing stuff.
'Cause I have all my numbers from the clubs
that I'm currently using that, you know
I can compare to the new stuff that I'm testing.
It tracks your golf ball and it gives you
as much data as you want.
I only use the data of like, my ball speed,
carry distance, spin rate, you know.
Those are really about the only things that I use it for.
My coach will look at it and you know,
could look at club path and spin access.
And there's, so many different numbers
that you can actually look at.
I try to stay away from those,
just 'cause I don't like to get too technical.
I just want to, I just want that kind of instant,
just the feedback of, you know,
how far it's carrying, my spin rates
and ball speed really is for driver.
[laidback music]
Another essential would be the go-to Adidas polo.
I wear these every day.
You know, the coolest thing about this
is it's made from recycled ocean plastics
or plastics, you know which I think is incredible.
Obviously with me, I spend a lot of time in the water
and you know, anything that helps save the ocean
I think is great.
But also, I work out in them sometimes if I need to,
or you know, obviously I wear them every day
when I'm playing golf.
But just a great essential that you need.
Thanks guys, for checking out some of my essentials.
I'll see you next time.
